1.	In an electrophilic substitution reaction to nitrobenzene, the presence of nitro group.
Answer» Deactivates the ring by inductive EFFECT Activities the ring by inductive effect Decreases the charge density at ortho and para POSITION of the rinf relative to META position by resonance. Increases the charge density at meta position relative to the ortho and para positions of the ring by resonance. Solution :NITRO GROUP deactivates the benzene ring due to -I effect and decreases electron density at ortho and para positions than meta position. An electrophilic attacks on meta position.
